Drew a deer tag for the first hunt in Unit 26 (fork antlered deer--can be either mule deer or whitetail). This unit begins a few hundred yards east of the house, and we know most of the ranchers--some are family. Get to sleep in my own bed and eat well in my wife's kitchen, so I can't complain.

Congrats Ben. Sleeping in your own bed and not eating your own cooking ? What could be any better ?

I got drawn for deer and javelina.

Congrats Ben!
I was fortunate as well. I'll be flying back to hunt whitetails in November. Hope I can stop by and share a coffee/beer with you.

Congrats Jm!

Forgot,Congrats Ben!

Looks like my wife will be hunting elk. It's green ELK1-302. We bought a hunt at the local NWTF banquet years ago with Audrey @ Trophy Ridge Outfitters. It was good until we drew the tag-----looks like this is the year. Pretty sure it's somewhere in the Gila.

You'd better plan on eating supper and spending at least a night with us...

Drew 3rd choice elk, early November cow tag in Sargent WMA

All red this year again!! Geez all I want is a unit 15 elk tag again!

Good for you Ken !!

Unit 19 WSMR deer. Congrats to all that had a successful draw.

Congrats! Keep us posted! Interested to see what the wsmr deer and elk hunts produce!

We got lucky. OIL oryx for my wife and Mcgregor oryx for me with a 31 muzzleloader deer kicker!
Also got invites on a rifle ibex and a desert sheep so its taken my mind off of what a Chitshow my state is!

Interested in hearing how this goes as well.

3rd choice deer and elk for me. NMDGF forgot to turn my desert BH box green.

What part of NM you in Smokenaces?

Ducks and geese for me this year !!

I'll be down your way for elk this year... I'll give you a shout if I get time to visit...

Drew 6A muzzleloader elk, Oct 5-9. Looks like can hunt along the 6B edge or head down into the wilderness. First elk hunt in NM and should catch end of rut.
